Help Bring Jordan Home: Support His Recovery
Donation protected
Dear friends, family and compassionate strangers,
My partner Jordan is an incredibly active and loving person. At only 29 years old, he has an adventurous spirit and a passion for surfing and snowboarding. He is always the life of the party.
His infectious energy and caring nature draw people to him, and he's known for his kindness, generosity, and unwavering support for others. Jordan is always ready to lend a helping hand, share a laugh, and brighten someone's day with his positive outlook on life. We've been saving for a few years for the trip of a lifetime, which unfortunately has ended in tragedy.
A jump off the iconic Mostar Bridge in Bosnia left Jordan with a life altering injury. Upon landing in the water he shattered his T12 vertebrae, leaving him with paralysis of his lower body. He is currently in the ICU after complex surgeries.
Jordan's journey to recovery is just beginning. He has already undergone several blood transfusions and requires additional medication to help stabilize his condition. The road ahead is long and challenging, but there are already positive signs —following the surgeries he has been able to wiggle his toes and stand assisted for a few seconds. These small yet significant signs of progress give us hope.
The emotional toll on Jordan and his loved ones is immense, but the financial burden is equally overwhelming. The cost of his medical care, combined with repatriation expenses to Australia, amounts to over $100,000 with more costs expected down the road. This is a daunting sum, and we cannot face it alone. At this stage we are unsure what, if anything, our travel insurance will cover.
We need your help. Every donation, no matter the size, brings Jordan one step closer to the care he needs and the comfort of being surrounded by his loved ones. Your support will make a profound difference in his recovery journey. Jordan and I are eternally grateful for the support we have already received and any future support.
Please consider contributing to Jordan's recovery fund. Together, we can bring Jordan home.
